1. Barcelona Cathedral: Best of Barcelona!
This gothic jewel is one of Barcelona’s most popular tourist attractions. Barcelona Cathedral is somewhere guaranteed to leave you mesmerised. From an external façade you could stare at for hours – with all its engravings, gargoyles and carved doors – to its ornate interiors and clear attention to detail, there’s plenty of beauty to gaze upon here. Undoubtedly what will impress you most are the 13 white geese in the cloister. Yes, you read that correctly. They’ve been attributed to various legends over time, from martyrs to a way of preventing robberies… come and see for yourself to find out the real reason they’re there!
2. Barcelona’s Teatro Liceo
The most prestigious theatre in the entire city. On Barcelona’s main thoroughfare at 51-59 Rambla, you’ll find Barcelona’s Teatro Liceo. For over a century, it was Europe’s biggest theatre. It remains an indisputable symbol of Barcelona. First opened in 1847, the theatre has survived fires, attacks and expropriations to become one of the most prestigious theatres in the world.
3. Columbus Monument
The history of Barcelona is full of curiosities, and the Columbus Monument is one of them. It is one of the city’s symbols, located in the Plaza del Portal de la Paz, and it holds one of the curiosities that has not gone unnoticed by the inhabitants of the Condal city. The statue points towards the sea, but this is not the direction it should be pointing if it were pointing towards America. It should be pointing towards Las Ramblas, but it was thought that this small detail would go unnoticed.
